Yep, that's elegant. It's so easy to write bad bash scripts that I do it all the time. So much to learn on my end.

I'd certainly be interested.

re: "asset tag and call if lost sticker". I think it's also a great idea to not have your user and hostname set to be "johnbigbucks@bestinvestconsulting" but something more generic or randomized. I use something lik

I guess the "forgotten" and "didn't think about it" part can't be underestimated. I work from coworking spaces and coffee shops in Asia. People do dev work and business related tasks from these places. The devs

Berlin's startup culture is very international with employees from all around the world. Not really different to any other tech hub I know of. So English is the company's operating language, especially for global players like Soun

Ever considered the possibility that not everyone who writes on the Internet had the fate to be born Anglophone? To some, believe it or not, English might even be their tertiary language. A quick Whois lookup might have made you reconsider

I use Anki[0] to learn and memorize tons of command line tools and Vim motions. It takes a couple minutes every day. Doing this in combination with actually using the tools brings fluency rather quickly. [0] http://ankisrs.net

Doing that reliably over a meaningful period of time is the problem. In my book (from the perspective of an investor) you'd need to "outperform?" the index to cover the costs of frequent trades and potential losses at no actu

It makes me a bit nauseous whenever I read or hear that somebody wants to outperform the market with an actively managed fund that is resembling an index fund. Like draugadrotten writes, such an endeavor can't be free. The rule of thum

Porn websites, as it stands, are better secured than your average Bitcoin exchange. Nothing to worry about.

I coincidentally found it 2 days ago in your Github repo while looking for an alternative to Toshl & Co. that can do this kind of projections towards FI. Didn't check it out yet but it looks good from the screenshots and you should

To me, your concerns are actually the biggest learning and takeaway. I learned and am learning programming completely on my own without peers so it's difficult to understand where I stand. I watched and still am watching this kind of v

For now you could very well gauge people's interest on the relevant subreddit by asking and then proceed if you feel it's enough. Also keep in mind that people will watch the recorded video way beyond the scheduled time as well an

The code you linked is nothing out of the ordinary as far as adware in Chrome plug-ins etc. go. For an example have a look at the source code[1] of "Awesome Screenshot"[2] which is used by ~1,4M users and also calls home to 7 diff

Not every DN is a programmer. There are no good clients for mobile and tablet. Sharing files would be a pain. Every individual would need to store logs for themselves. And finally, you can use slack over IRC if you like.

Nice project. A couple things I noticed: You're leaking emails and IP addresses of commenters in your source code. There are plenty of dead pages[1] in the index which you could redirect to the home page or just disallow Google to inde

Love how the frontend is implemented. It's also quite snappy. I've recently watched a tutorial on neo4j where they used this kind of app as an example. Is it built on top of a graph database? One odd thing I noticed is how the act

So you have plumbing and software engineering skills. You know how plumbers are struggling with the internet-y side of things? Are you aware of the fact that plumber + {city} is worth $40-60 a click through Google AdWords? Are you aware o
